General Road and Highway Discussion

I did figure it was to provide warning/transition to cyclists entering the boarding zone (why they couldn't put the bike lane *AROUND* the boarding zone I do not know, at least Toronto has obvious space constraints, which don't really appear to apply here.  I mean, how hard is it really to just copy the Dutch?  I digress.

Yeah, it makes sense in Toronto, but there's plenty of space here to do the correct thing, and have the bike lane go behind a bus loading pad.

 My bigger concern is why they chose an accessibility tactile plate treatment?  Isn't that supposed to provide a warning and path to visually disabled folks?  

I think the idea is that the tactile strip is there to tell the pedestrians that this is where the pedestrian zone ends. It gives a bounding box.
